Chevrolet SS May Gain Camaro 1LE Package If The Suit Abides
You can row your own and enjoy its magnetic ride these days, but more fun may be coming for the Chevrolet SS if the suits allow it.
Motor Trend says the brand’s engineers want to bring the Camaro 1LE package to the performance sedan. The reinterpreted package would include a retuned suspension, new dampers, and different tires sized equally fore and aft instead of the standard staggered SS setup.
Given the green light, the engineers could bring the option onboard within three to six months. The only concern is whether those higher up in command — and the beancounters they employ — believe such a project is worth doing.

It's a good car. It's too late now, but I'd rather have a V6 version with a little less "content" and keep the price under $40,000. Especially as the styling doesn't exactly match the performance now.
Staggered tires suck in the real world. You can't rotate them, so end up replacing at the speed of the worst wear pattern. Whatever performance they give is largely irrelevant on the street. If you want any proof, look at the number of staggered wheel sets in BMW specific magazines and websites on used sale.....

The "Suits" should do more to let people know they car freaking exists in the first place.
